The long awaited post...
So it's been quite a while since my last post. Over a month. Not my fault. Thats what being in the Navy will do. Someones got to do it though. So here's my tale of the long month underway.
Not too much actually happened. Just the usual underway happenings. Almost. I've been fairly disgruntled lately. Not working much, just lounging around, and in general being an ass. Got my way, and thats all that mattered.
All this was caused by anger. For some reason I've been angry all the time. Ha, good ol' anger. Something I've seen far too much of. I don't really know what causes it. Some say it's my man period. Whatever. Quit bitching and get out of my way. Ha. Lovely isn't it. I can't walk down a hall way without finding something that makes me want to break things. Anything. A face, equipment, personal stuff. It's all fair game. Sadly, when it's my fist against steel, my fist loses. Damn you steel. I'll win someday.
So we hit up Singapore. Here's a tip. Large groups of people are not a good idea for random fun. Too many ideas and too much standing around. Stick to groups of 3 or less. Got to see some crazy contorniotist. Saw lots of cool things. Didn't have my camera around. Great. Ah, but I believe I'll be there again some day. Good food, and great shopping. Got me a nice Tamron 90mm macro lens. Only 450us. Can't beat that. Took a large amount of pictures. Posted some of my favorites. Check them out here. So yeah, thats about it from singapore. My memory isn't operating right anymore.
We stop by Thailand. Good fun there as well. Took some pictures. Lots of cheap stuff. Spending money left and right. Seems like I had a printing press in my wallet. I couldn't spend enough bhat. My pockets were on fire, and yet always full. Odd, but fun. I didn't get many souveniers. Sorry to all you expecting them. I believe I'll be there again someday as well. Got a good tan. 30 minutes in a speed boat. hour long bus ride. Nice beach area. Went to Pattaya beach. Lots of old guys around though.
And now were back on the boat again. Heading home. Stopped in Okinawa. What do you know? Another visit where I couldn't leave the pier. Awesome. Some day... Heading back some more. It's getting nice and cold again. Cloudy, rainy, and you can see your breath. I'm loving it. Still working on the good Japan photos. Hopefully won't be too much longer.
Of course, I've got to be up in the day during the weekends. I've been up for over 24 hours now, and I don't know why. Just me being crazy. Most of that time has been getting back in touch with all the real people wherever these little bits of data are headed. Took far too long. Thats the bad part of being underway. I'll live though.
A nice side story. I was writing a long and detailed e-mail with stories and all the stuff that makes an e-mail great. My co-workers see this huge e-mail. They thought I was writing a novel. So now my attention to detail leads to novels. Aweseome. Way to go details. Oh, and you guys are assholes.
I'm off to get some food that's actually edible. Breakfast that consists of more than grease strips (supposedly bacon), badly cooked rice, wooden hashbrowns, and the daily variety of eggs. So what do I get? An egg mc muffin. Ha
